You know, my province has a lot of problems, usually bottoming out in all the good lists and topping the bad ones in everything from economy to education to health. And then there are the tensions between the three main cultures, peaking recently. And yet, I love it. It's not just where I was raised and live, it's where I CHOOSE to live. I love an underdog. I love a place that's so small you can actually make a difference if you choose to. And I like the cultural dynamic and what it has yielded (other than the linguistic racism, of course). Not forgetting this blog's mission statement, I will pay homage to NB the only way this blog can, with the 5 geekiest things about New Brunswick.
#5 - That time Wolverine came to a totally fictional town of Harbordale in New Brunswick (the Free Comic Book Day comic Wolverine: Origin of an X-Man #1, May 2009). Come on, Marvel! I thought your heroes existed in the real world!#4 - Donald Sutherland was born here!
Go, go, 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers!#3 - My friend Bauble's complete Spider-Man comics collection! (Had to throw one item that wasn't in the south of the province or the north gets all defensive.)
#2 - Snake Eater was filmed here!
Where would Lorenzo Lamas be without his cult classic (kinda) hicksploitation action franchise? (Don't answer that.)#1 - I'm here! (You gotta admit...)
